Tegwyll, the Duke of Splendor, is a faerie noble from Eldraine.

History[ | ]

At a mere 400 years old, Tegwyll is a relative newcomer to High Fae politics in Tuinvale.[1] Handsome and quick-witted, he considered himself a natural fit in the refined court of the Kind Lord Talion - but like a sapling that grows meekly in the shade of the canopy above it, his ambitions were out of reach. He was pushed to the side, his youth a curse amidst Talion's complex courtly ceremonies. However, the shadows proved to be a perfect shroud for a cunning upstart like Tegwyll. With status out of his grasp, he took whatever advantages came his way instead. He needed allies, unassuming ones, that could move unnoticed and uninhibited through the Wilds, and Tegwyll knew exactly who to contact: Alela, a lesser faerie and schemer like himself.

It was natural, of course, for the High Fae to look down upon their faerie relatives, but there were no better eyes and ears for Tegwyll than the flitting, mischievous faeries that served Alela in droves.[1] After an absence of many years, Tegwyll made his return in a lavish coming-of-age ceremony escorted by flights of faeries in a coordinated, dazzling display. It was both an announcement of his return to court and a sign of his intentions. The celebration lasted nearly a year, with Tegwyll whispering silky words in the ears of the most influential Fae. Those he could not convince of his worth were set upon in secret by Alela and her gang, and through pranks and mischief, she sullied their reputation. Tegywll has set his sights upon the final prize - the throne of the Kind Lord. Though his scheme may take millennia to come, his ambition will reign eternally.
